His wife, to whom it appeared he had been very recently married, was telegraphed for, and Cooper was aesured before she arrived that if anything happened to him she should be provided for. Lord Dufferin drove some distance to meet her on the way, and prepare her for the scene she was about witness. About seven o'clock he returned with the poor woman and her sister. In the meantime a clergyman in camp had volunteered his services, which were cheerfully accepted, end the wounded man enjoyed, as well as his state would permit, the consolations of religion. He, as well as Sergeant- Major Roberts, by whom the shot was fired, were men enjoying the highest character in the regiment, The latter has for some time held the responsible post of musketry-instructor to the Coldstream Guards, and in that capacity has taken part in organising numberless rifle meetings in different parts of the country. According to his statement he aimed I.oft to the right of the target. The bullet mark, from subsequent examination, was what would be called a high centre to the right. Roberte, upon whom the occurrence naturally produced a terrible impression, was removed to town to await the deci sion of the military authorities. In camp all firing at the range where the accident occurred was sus pended, the bands stopped playing, and whatever had been contemplated in the nature of festivities for that evening was abandoned. It was felt, how ever, that it would not be fair to stop what must be regarded as a national movement on account of such a mishap, and firing was accordingly continued till the usual hour at all the other ranges. Dr Pres cott Hewett, of St George's Hospital, who had been telegraphed for immediately the event occurred, aw Cooper at a late hour, and his report was that the ciase was hopeless.

Naval and Military Intelligence, The summer inspection of the Ist (Chatham) Division of Royal Marine Light Infantry, which commenced on Wed nesday, was continued yesterday by Major Gen, A. B. Stransham, Inspector-General, Royal Marines, who was accompanied by Lieut.-Col. G. B, Rodney, Assistant-Ad • jutant-General, and Capt. J. C. Travers, Aide-de-Camp. On the occasion of the first day's inspection the whole of the men of the division who had completed their drill and were returned fit for battalion duty, to the number of about 700 of all ranks, were marched to Chatham Great Lines, under the command of Col.-Commandant T. Lemon, C.B Notwithstanding the great heat of the weather, the whole of the men were in heavy marching order, and each man, in addition to his kit, carried 15 rounds of blank cartridge. The division having been formed in line, Gen. Stransham, accompanied by his staff, rode to the front, and was received with a general salute and colours lowered. Preparations were then made for a course of field-day manoeuvres, and on the Inspector-General taking his stand at the flagstaff the entire division gave the customary march-past, in slow and quick time, in open and closed columns of companies. This was the least satisfactory portion of the day's manoeuvres, and for once the Royal M ar ine s did not sustain their well-earned reputation for almost faultless marching. The great heat of the weather, with the equipment of the men, was the cause of this—and, indeed, in proof of the effect the weather had on the battalion it may be mentioned that at least a dozen of the men fell out of the ranks during the inspection, overcome by the heat. At the termination of the marching past the flank companies threw out their skirmishers for repelling a kupposed attacking force, and in the course of a few minutes the entire battalion advanced and were supposed to be engaged with the enemy. At the same time a variety of interesting movements were performed, in which the offi cers and men of the division acquitted themselves in a highly satisfactory manner, Major-Gen. Stransham afterwards inspected the officers in the bayonet exercise. At the close of the inspection Major-Gen. Stransham addressed the officers and men of the battalion, and expressed his satisfac tion at the highly efficient state of the division. Although he had not observed the customary steadiness in the ranks during the marching past, yet he e •uld make some allow ance for the great disadvantage under which non-commis sioned officers and men laboured fr)m the intense heat of the day. Yesterday morning the Inspector General inspected a wing of the division in the barrack-square, and saw the va rious officers of companies go through their company drill. At 12 o'clock the whole of the officers were assembled on the parade ground, where they went through the broad. sword exercise. The remainder of the day was devoted by Gen. Stransham to an inspection of the books and accounts, together with an inspection of the offices, barrack-rooms, the non-commissioned officers' and privates' library and reading rooms, and the schoolrooms. At 3 o'clock the detachment of 70 non-commissioned officers and men who are now nude' going a course of gun drill with the great guns were marched to the gun shed battery, where Major General Stransham spent some time in witnessing the great gun exercise, under the direction of Captain Bligh, the instructor to the division. The expeditious manner in which the Armstrongs, with the naval 68-pounders and other guns, were cast loose, brought round, trained, and fired, showed the proficiency attained by the Royal Marines in this important portion of their duties. On Wednesday evening Major-Gen. Stransham was entertained by Col. Lemon, C. 8., and the officers of the division at a grand banquet, which was given in the officers' mess-room. In consequence of the urgent demand made by the officers commanding the Royal Engineers in New Zealand for an additional number of men to be sent out to augment the 6th company. now serving in that colony, an order has been received by Msjer-General H. Eyre, commanding the forces in the Chatham district directing him to hold in readiness two officers and 30 non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Engineers for immediate embarcation. The men required have been selected from the depot and other companies at head -quarters, Brompton, the whole of them having completed their course of fieldwork instruction to qualify them for taking the field immediately on their arrival at their destination. The names of the non-com missioned officers and men have been forwarded to the Horse Guards for approval. and, as soon as the selection has been confirmed, they will embark. The screw steam corvette Encounter, 14, Capt. Roderick Dew, C. 8., arrived in Plymouth Sound yesterday afternoon. She left Yokohama on Dec. 29 —Nagasaki on Jan, 12— Shanghai on the 20th—Ningpo on the 26th—Amoy on the 29th—Hongkong on March B—Singapore on the 23d—the Cape of Good Hope on May 14—St. Helena on June 4-- Ascension on the Bth—and Fayal, July 7.

Still the issue of the International Enfield Matoh,where their chances were apparently as good, had damped their expec• its actual attain ment. rations concerning the small bore competition. And hence the joy and satisfaction with which the vie mt o e r n y t , hge prospectscovete d, w o e fh s hailed straggle t ru o gn fluctuated very much When a pause wasm a a t de di f fi o e r r l e u n n t c p h er t i h eds es o e f o t t h ch e d w a e y r . e a few points ahead, but at the close of the firing at 800 yards the English were 11 in advance, the numbers being 367 to 356. At the 900 yards' range the Scotch made their great recovery. It was not perh a p s t h at t h ere was any visible improvement in their shooting, so much as a falling cff in that of their antagonists Capt. Heaton, who had been literally making bull's• eyes at will all through the previous portion of the meeting, at this range only succeeded in scoring 19. Lord Bury, whose favourite rifle had been disabled the previous day, was still more unfortunate, only 15 marks being put down opposite his name. Lieut.- Colonel Baker (Cambridge University), Sergeant Martin Smith (Victories), Lieut, Hawker (2d South Middlesex), and Corporal Pell (lons of Court) made very steady shooting all through the ranges and the aggregate scores of the two former were higher than any obtained on the Scotch side. But whereas there were four on the English' side whose total scores fell short of 114, there was only one Sc3tchman whose marks were below that number. The actual majority for Scotland was 25, a result which, it will 6:: seen, the €ff)rts cf the Messrs. Ross and Mr. Wilken mainly contributed to bring about. It is said that in the next competition an effJrt will be made to bring up an Irish eight worthy of their rivals, and thus to complete the international cha racter of the match. Oae would imagine that with the many excelleift rifle clubs in the north of Ire land, and the love of sport pervading all classes in that country, there ought to be no difficulty, among the higher classes, at all events, in making up a con tingent which would show creditably at Wimbledon. The competition for the Mont Storm prizes was continued during the day, and continued to excite very general interest. It was evident from the manner in which the rifle was handled by the vari ous competitors that scarcely any of them had pre vious knowledge of the weapon. Many fired away a great number of rounds in the specified time, scarcely making a hit at all; others, aiming very deliberately, failed to appre c i ate the full advantages which a breech - loading rifle is calculated to af f ord. The exceptional case of Sergeant Brook, of the 12th Middlesex, was on this account the more remarkable.

His orders were obeyed, and the markers be ing rather slow in obeying them h e 1, e had turned to some one who had attracted his attention, when he heard a shot immediately behind him, and, looking round an Echo screen to see whence it proceeded, discovered that a rifle had been discharged by one of the sergeant instructors of musketry with a view to attract the attention of the markers and to hasten their movements. This proceeding was a breach of all regulations, but in extenuation of such act it is alleged that extreme cases have been known in which a rifle shot has been employed as a means of communication. Be this as it may, a commotion at the other end of the range was visible only too soon, and a melancholy procession was shortly on its way to the hospital tont. It seems from the account given by the other markers that as they Were stand without ing about near the targets an y occupation the wounded man, Private a Cooper, of the Cold stream Guards, began to cullect bullets which had o gone through his target, the only one of pasteboard at that range, and lodged in the butt behind. His comrades called to him to get back to his hut when the signals were made from the S ; —Nog point, as they of coarse could not take down their danger flags till he was under cover. He replied ' that he would go in a moment —as soon as he picked up one more bullet. At that moment a shot fired from the other end of the range struck the target which concealed him from vi ew , passed through its unresisting substance, 4nd lodged in his back. He fell, exclaiming to one of his comrades, ' " Dick, lam shot ! " when they at once rushed out, picked him up, and helped to carry him to the hos pital tent.

WASHINGTON, July 8. Secretary Welles has sent to Ciptain Winsiove of the Kearsage the following recognition of his ser vices in the destruction of the pirate Alabama :- 6 Naval Department, July 6. " Sir,—Your very brief despatches of the 19th and 20th ult., informing the department that the piratical craft Alabama, or 290,' had been sunk on the 19th of June, near meridian, by the Kearsage, under your command, were this day received. I congratulate you on your good fortune in meeting this vessel, which had so long avoided the fastest ships and some of the most vigilant:and intelligent officers of the service, and for the ability displayed in this combat you have the thanks of the depart ment. You will please express to the officers and crew Of the Kearsage the satisfaction of the Govern ment at the victory over a vessel superior in tonnage, superior in number of guns, and superior in the number of her crew. The battle was eo brief, the victory so decisive, and the comparative results FO striking, that the country will be reminded of the brilliant actions of our infant navy, which have been repeated and illustrated in this engagement. The Alabama represented the best maritime effort of the most skilled English workshops. Her battery was composed of the well-tried 32-pounders of 57 cwt., of the famous 6S-pounder of the British navy, and of the only successful rifled 100-pounder, yet produced in England. The crew were generally recruited in Great Britain, and many of them re ceived superior training on board her Majesty's gunnery ship Excellent. " The Kearsage is one of the first gunboats built at our navy yards at the commencement of the re bellion, and lacks the improvements of vessels now under construction. Tee principal guns composi❑g her battery had never been previously tried in an exclusively naval engagement ; yet in one hour you succeeded in sinking your antagonist, thus fitly ending her predatory career, and killing many of her crew, without injury to the Kearsage or the loss of a single life on your vessel. Our countrymen have reason to be satisfied that in this, as in every naval action of this unhappy war, neither the ships, the guns, nor the crews have been deteriorated, but that they maintain the ability and continue the re nown which ever adorned our naval annals. The President has signified his intention to re commend that you'receive a vote of thanks in order that you may be advanced to the grade of Commo dore. Lieutenant. Commander James A. Thornton, the executive officer of the Kearsage, will be recom mended to the Senate for advancement ten numbers in his grade, and you will report to the department the names of any others of the officers or crew whose good conduct on the occasion entitles them to especial attention.—Very respectfully, " GIDEON WELLES, Secretary of the Navy. " Captain John A. Winslow, U.S. Navy, Commanding U.S. steamer Kearsage, Cherbourg, France." The Murderer of Mr Briggs. To allay the excitement which prevails in regard to the pursuit of the supposed murderer, Francis Muller, it may be stated, that it is exceedingly pro bable that no news will be received for a month or five weeks. The Victoria was last seen off St. Katharine's Point, Lie of Wight, on Saturday afternoon. The wind was then favourable for her. She carried out about 80 passengers. The City of Washington, having the detectives and some of the witnesses as to Muller's identity on board, will, it is thought, pass her at sea; but it is net considered at all likely that the Victoria will be boarded. Tile officers will proceed on to New York, where they will await the arrival of the ship. In case of any mishap occurring to the City of Weshington, the Government have determined upon sending out duplicates of the warrants by another steamer, which leaves Liverpool on Saturday, and which it is considered possible may reach New York before the Victoria. The average time occupied in a run from the Thames to New York is nineteen or twenty days. If the Victoria takes that time, the arrest and the return voyage will occupy twelve days more; and, therefore, Muller cannot be brought back to England before the end of August. Muller's conduct while he has been in England has been ascertained to have been that of a well conducted man. His manners are ciulTribed as being good and even gentlemanly. Mr. Hodgkinson, of Threadneedle-street, for whom be worked for two months, speaks favourably of him, and Mr. and Mrs. Blyth, with whom he lodged, never conceived ne could have been the perpetrator of so ferocious a crime. He was never known to be in liquor; he generally returned home straight from his work; and it is said that he never frequented public houses. He quitted Mr. Hodgkinson's service on - he Saturday previous to the murder of his own action, on account of some slight difference 45 to time. He used to work all day on the shop-board at the back of the premises in Thread needle-street, along with another workman, a Ger man like himself, named Htffa. Whether he got any other employ during the week which elapsed between the time of his discharging himself and the day of the murder does not appear. On the night of the murder he let himself into the house in Old Ford-road, Bonner's-fields, by means of a latch-key, at about eleven o'clock. Mr Blyth, being in bad health, had already gone to bed, as had the rest of the family likewise. Muller lighted a candle, and went up stairs to bed. Nothing was heard either that night or subsequently to excite a suspicion that anything was wrong. He came down to breakfast as usual on the Sunday morning, and the family observed nothing the matter with his clothes which led them to think that they had been washed or that he had been in a struggle or row. He had previously intimated to Mrs Blyth his in tention to try to get to New York or to Canada, where he said he hed some friends; and he had introduced to her his shopmate Heffa to succeed him as a lodger in the room which he occupied. On the Monday after the murder Heffa came to the house, and slept there that night. It was on the Monday afternoon that Mr and Mrs Blyth saw Muller had got a new watehchain, and she jocularly remarked, "Some people get on in the world. Ido not know how they do it." Muller made no reply to the remark, but said that he had bought the chain. She saw that he had a watch, but she had no opportu nity of looking at it closely. From that time until the Thursday when he left the country she observed no alteration in his manners. She had no recollec tion of the subject of the murder having been alluded to by him. He complained of a sprain in his leg, and he were a slipper, in which he walked into town ; but he had the sprain, and be were the slipper before the day of the murder. She is posi tive upon this point, and Muller's shop corroborates her in the matter. ma te Heffa At no time was he ever known to have in his possession such a thing as a life preserver. The police searched the place care fully. but foiled no life preserver, whi c h h e . weapon belonging to hut. Mr Miller, who locged in the same house, had a possesse d mself of this, an d replace d kept hanging up in his ro om. Th e accused man could have hi it. It has, therefore, been subject e d to close ex amination, but no traces of blood or hair have becn detected upon its surface. It is supposed that what ever we apon Was used in the commission of the = ust h ~.t_°~a. - \,:' murder ,ave been thrown into titan DuelreVe Canal or tl.'e reservoir which is adjacent do the glit!,•o where the murder was perpetrated.

The Relief of the Casual and Vagant Poor. At a meeting of the elected vestry at the parish of St. Mary, Lambeth, held last evening at th , a Vestry Hall, Kennington -greet:, presided over b 5, Mr Rohert Taylor, Mr F. calk(' the attention of ves!ry to a measure recently introduced in'.o the House of Commons by the President of the Poor law Board, the object of which was to threw upon the Metropolitan Board of Works the payment of the expenses connected with a certain class of poor relieved by the metropolitan parishes. The bill provided that each parish should keep an account of the amount of relief afforded by it to the casual or vagant poor between the hours of eight o'clock in the evening and eight o'clock in the morning, and that on their presenting a certified account, of the same to the Metropolitan Board of Works, the latter should pay the same out of the Gener LA Purposes Fund connected with it. He had nothing to say against the principle of the measure, wh,ch he considered good, as it was the first stop towards their obtaining an equalisation of the pcor rates over all the parishes, which he was sure they all so much desired. (Hear, hear.) But at the same time there was a peculiarity attached to the measure s which was this—the only fund for general purpos , e which the Metropolitan Board had the power raising was what was called the sewers rate, wh was a tax upon the owners of property, so that b y placing upon that fund this additional burden, T eey would be placing upon the owners of property 'that which was at present paid by the occupiers. H e did not mean to cavil about any great add - r tional burden it would be upon the sewers rate, br.f.; what he hesitated at was the changing of the pri') ciple of texation from occupiers to owners. It was, he 't) elieved, the intention of the Metropolitan Board to apply to Parliament next session, by means of a nc.i v bill, or a clause introduced into an aid one, for 'power to levy a rate for the p-tyment of their expel tees other than that of the sewers rate, and the charge he bad referred to would come legitimately upon that fund. In the meantime, however, he had corside red it proper to bring the matter before the vestry ; and to ascertain their opinion respecting it. Mr. FOWLER moved, " That the vestry reques't their representatives in the House of Commons to give the measure their support." Mr. SWEET having seconded the motion, Mr. RHODES expressed his approval of the mer. 4 sure. Mr. GILES cmplained of being asked to give their assent to the measure without having seefl it. He understood that at a meeting of the MAryleb Jae Vestry it had been strongly objected to, and he thought, therefore, they should have time to con• sider the matter. The CHAIRMAN proposed that the matter should wait for further consideration. After some conversation the Chairman's suggess tion was adopted, Mr. Fowler's motion having been withdrawn, and the matter dropped. The CHAIRMAN, in reference to the inspection of the main drainage works on Monday and Tuesday next by the different metropolitan vestries, under tho superintendence of the Board of Works, said that ample arrangements had been made for con-, veying the parties to the works by steamers whiea would take up at the different piers, from Hun ge r... ford downwards. It was expected that about 2,000 gentlemen would join in the in:Teotion, fAnd arm rangements had also been Tn.:de by the refreerment department for the members o each veetry having a e3rar2artment for themselves. The Accident on the Great Eastern Rail.way. Thursday Evening. To-day the investigation into the circumstances of the accident to the Rotterdam train en the Harwich branch of the Great Eaetern Railway, in which the engine and carriages were thrown down the embankment, and the fireman, William Wright, killed, and several of the passengers more or less injured, was resumed before Mr W. Codd, coroner for Essex, in the National School-house, Bradfield. Joseph Wright said that ho was guard of the train to which the accident happened on Wednes day, the 13th inst. The train left Harwich for London at 2.51. The time of starting depended on that of the arrival of the steamer from Rotterdam. The train went on steadily at the rate of about 30 miles an hour, until it arrived within three-quarters of a mi!e of Bradfield, when it suddenly left the rails, and the engine and carriages tumbled down the embankment. The speed did not seem to him to be greater than usual. Captain Farley, who was driving by at the time, examined the line to see how the accident had occurred, and wit. ness saw him pull one of the keys out from between the rails and the chaira with his fingers. Som© of them were loose, and one was rotten, but none were out. But those were towards London, on a part of the line which the train had not reached. Witness had not seen the engine 'lamp" off the rails. He was quite satisfied that it had not jumped. When the carriage was thrown off the line he was pitched off his scat. James Fisher, platelayer, said he had examined the line on the morning in question, and it was then in perfect condition. Eight trains passed after the line was examined before the Rotterdam train. The Coroner asked whether the line was examined after the passing of a train. Mr Robertson said that a railway was kept in such perfect working order that the passage of one train over it could make no impression on it, and therefore it was not necessary to examine it after every passage. Witness said that he had three miles of lines to inspect, and he found it safe in every respect. It was common to find the keys loose, in consequence of their being shrank up from the heat of the weather. _ _ .• By Col. Yolland—There were seven sleepers to 18 feet. In April all the sleepers were not renewed, only those that were decayed. The old Bleepers that were suffered to remain were fastened where they needed it with iron spikes, and not with trenails as before. The new chairs were also sacured by m eans last of iron spikes. For three or four years past it h ad been found necessary to rep lace trenails of Wood by iron spikes. The witness, in answ er to Colonel Yo lland, said linethat dtuhreintrgaffit the had 81: ra n onths, and i greatly increased on th e e p n consequence new sleepers ba d been put down, srn tente be and instead of one man per mile b ein g em p lo y e d , there were 2 or twelve. Colonel Yolland said that the speed ec spo k e n of as excessive. that, The Coroner said assuming the sp-cd to have been even forty miles an hour, the rate could not be called exe • - • CSSIVe, for it it were so, no one could travel safely b y an express at nearly double the pace. C)Ionel Yoqand said that everything depended on •_he state of the line, Mr 1 - I,)bi::rtson said that the actual distance from iiirwich to the place of the accident was only 7 miles, and seventeen minutes were occupied in getting over the ground. The rate was remarkabiy moderate. Atter other evidence, The Coroner said that Cel.Yolland had La' as yet had sufficient time to take all the circuraz.tances of the occurrence into coneidG.tation before making hia report as to the elms° of the accident. The court would therefore now adjourn• The proceedings were adjourned cecordingly. i ----- ‘-:- , . .
